<title>mm: add ksys_mmap_pgoff() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_mmap_pgoff()</title>

<id>a90f590a1bee36fc2129cfb38ceec24a555bb12d</id>
<content type='text'>
Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the
sys_mmap_pgoff() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is
meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the
same calling convention as sys_mmap_pgoff().

This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180325162527.GA17492@light.dominikbrodowski.net

Vector RAW in UML needs to BPF filter its own MAC only
if QDISC_BYPASS has failed. If QDISC_BYPASS is successful, the
frames originated locally are not visible to readers on the
raw socket.

The patches for the UML vector drivers were in-flight when
the timer changes happened and were not covered by them.

This change migrates vector_kern.c to use the new timer API.

Recent libcs have gotten a bit more strict, so we actually need to
include the right headers and use the right types. This enables UML to
compile again.

If 'find_device()' finds something, we set '*error_out' and we should
return an error. However, 'err' is known to be 0 at this point.

Explicitly return -EINVAL instead.

While at it, remove the initialization of 'err' at the beginning of the
function and also explicitly return an error code if the first check
fails.

1. Provides infrastructure for vector IO using recvmmsg/sendmmsg.
    1.1. Multi-message read.
    1.2. Multi-message write.
    1.3. Optimized queue support for multi-packet enqueue/dequeue.
    1.4. BQL/DQL support.
2. Implements transports for several transports as well support
for direct wiring of PWEs to NIC. Allows direct connection of VMs
to host, other VMs and network devices with no switch in use.
    2.1. Raw socket &gt;4 times higher PPS and 10 times higher tcp RX
    than existing pcap based transport (&gt; 4Gbit)
    2.2. New tap transport using socket RX and tap xmit. Similar
    performance improvements (&gt;4Gbit)
    2.3. GRE transport - direct wiring to GRE PWE
    2.4. L2TPv3 transport - direct wiring to L2TPv3 PWE
3. Tuning, performance and offload related setting support via ethtool.
4. Initial BPF support - used in tap/raw to avoid software looping
5. Scatter Gather support.
6. VNET and checksum offload support for raw socket transport.
7. TSO/GSO support where applicable or available
8. Migrates all error messages to netdevice_*() and rate limits
them where needed.
